Tile repair in Droylsden, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your M43 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
